We can’t believe this kind of thing is still going on in 2013. An Iowa family had their home vandalized and burned and based on the racial slurs the vandals used, it’s all because the family had a white mom and black dad! Via NY Daily News reports : Vandals in Iowa spray painted racist slurs on an interracial couple’s home and set it on fire, police said. Shelly Owens returned home to find the house in flames. “They wrote the ‘N-word’ all over my walls,” Owens told KETV. “This is against me, I guess, and it’s a hate crime.” Owens lived with fiance Kevin Durham and the couple’s biracial children in a diverse neighborhood in Council Bluffs. “I’m very angry,” Owens said. “I’m just fortunate that my kids were in school and that we weren’t home.” The first 911 call came in at 2:35 p.m. on Tuesday. Firefighters found the bedroom in flames and smoke poured through the rest of the house. Council Bluffs Fire Marshal Curtis McKeon told the Daily News the fire was set inside the bedroom. The family dog escaped unharmed. This is a damn shame. We hope they catch the culprits. ABC News KETV

Pacman this is so not cool. Pac you out here making this NFL money and you still acting like a n***a from the hood laying the smackdown on beyotches. Stop getting caught up in these “n***a moments.” NFL Star Caught On Tape Hitting Woman According to TMZ New surveillance footage has surfaced appearing to show NFL star Adam “Pacman” Jones bashing a woman in the face outside of an Ohio nightclub after she seemingly poured a drink on him. Pacman insists he was merely “protecting himself” during the Wednesday night altercation outside of a Cincinnati nightclub … and judging from the video, it seems the woman made the first aggressive move. The footage (around the 1:55 mark) shows a woman reaching over to Pacman with what appears to be a drink in her hand. It seems the woman poured her drink on Jones … and he reacted by unleashing a punch to her head. The woman filed a police report accusing Jones of assault — and earlier today, the Cincinnati Bengals player turned himself in. Pacman has defended himself on Twitter — writing, “Just got arrested for protecting myself … I will not let this break me or change what I have work so hard for … .” We already know what happened. The beyotch spilled a drink on his $5,000 Gucci shoes, ninja got his homo on and said, “Oh no girl, not the Gucci” and blacked out on her.
It’s only a matter of time before this guy is found dead face down on the floor with a bullet in his head. Man Who Leaked U.S. Spying On Citizens Back On The Run According to The NY Daily News Edward Snowden, the former CIA technician who unabashedly leaked word of the U.S. collecting phone records and internet data, may be a lot less secure in Hong Kong than he believes. In an interview released Sunday, Snowden praised Hong Kong’s “commitment to the right of political dissent.” But it likely won’t give him a free pass if the Obama administration seeks his extradition — assuming he’s still there. A guest who had checked into Hong Kong’s Mira Hotel under the name Edward Snowden has since left, The Washington Post reported Monday citing a hotel receptionist. Under a 1996 extradition treaty between the U.S. and Hong Kong, now under the sovereignty of China, the two sides agreed to surrender an individual wanted for prosecution by the other. The matter is theoretically complicated by China’s relationship to Hong Kong. China can derail Hong Kong’s move to extradite someone if it believes it impacts its own national security interests. But it’s currently unclear why China would want to get into a tussle with the U.S. if Washington wanted Snowden, who worked for the private defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. in its dealings with the National Security Agency. “The Chinese have no interest in making this an issue,” David Zweig, a professor at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, told Bloomberg News. “He hasn’t helped China necessarily.” “This is an internal affair within the United States. They’ll see it that way. If they hold on to him then it just strengthens the American right to intervene in China’s internal affairs.” The Guardian reported that Snowden, 29, holed up in a Hong Kong hotel after leaving the United States last month. “I think it is really tragic that an American has to move to a place that has a reputation for less freedom,” he told the Guardian, which was the original conduit for his leaks. “Still, Hong Kong has a reputation for freedom in spite of the People’s Republic of China.” Ironically, his fate may now be more in the hands of China and whether they see any self-interest in essentially protecting him by blocking potential extradition. If he remains in Hong Kong, he might want to check the local press. On Monday, Wen Yunchao, a liberal blogger in Hong Kong, wrote that Snowden has gone “out of the tiger’s den, and into the wolf’s lair,” according to a Beijing blog by a New Yorker correspondent. And he may generate a lot less sympathy than he apparently believes. As a former high-ranking Justice Department official in the Clinton administration told the Daily News, “I think he’s a moral and legal idiot.” The government will probably hire some “Huck” like assassin to murk him before the trial begins and say it was an “accident.”
